The picture of his house with a boat shows the boat backed into the driveway. The Highlander will easily do that. Backing a boat with a Highlander is a snap compared to doing so with a crew-cab Silverado. That Highlander will turn on a dime - well, maybe a nickel. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

Actually, the only real tricky time is first time out in the spring, as I winter the boat up on blocks way back in front of my shed. It narrows up down there thanks to a fence and a stairway to my rear deck....giving a 'thread the needle' effect.
Sure wouldn't want to scratch the Highlander. |

But "Hank" gets a pass in the name calling, eh? I determined a long time ago that the best way to handle "Hank" and a few others like "Hank" is to bozo bin them and be done with them. From the few posts of "Hank" I've seen lately in posts where he is "requoted," there seems to be nothing that indicates he can participate here without name-calling and snottiness. |
